Not applicable Usage
The keyword Let is optional. The Let statement can be used to assign a value or expression to a variable with a data type of numeric, string, variant, or record variable. You can also use the Let statement to assign to a record field or to an element of an array. When assigning a value to a numeric or string variable, standard conversion rules apply. Let differs from Set in that Set assigns a variable to a COM object. For example, Set o1 = o2 sets the object reference.
Let o1 = o2 sets the value of the default member.
Example
This example uses the Let statement for the variable sum. The subroutine finds an average of 10 golf scores. Sub Button_Click Dim score As Integer Dim x, sum Dim msgtext Let sum = 34 For x = 1 to 10 score = 76 sum = sum + score Next x msgtext = "Your average is: " & CInt(sum/(x-1)) End Sub
